Being part of this trend of discovery, migration/return and embrace of the pipe I have noted as much in a thread I penned under the newly inaugurated sub-forum "Meet the Manufacturer". Within the initial post I pose the following point of discussion to CAO's Director of Lifestyle Marketing Jon Huber.

If my research is correct Cano Ozgener started CAO in his Nashville basement back in 1968. With Cano's background as an engineer his initial focus was on improving the performance tobacco pipes.

In observing what appears to be a trend (at least on this forum) of cigar smokers turning to and embracing the pipe and all that it has to offer I am wondering what CAO has in store as far as product development and marketing where their pipe tobacco line is concerned.

"Meet the Manufacturer" flies under the banner of the Cigar Reviews, Questions and Information. Reading through the Pipe Forum I get the impression that members have solid relationships with members of the pipe tobacco industry as well as carvers. Would it be nice to have the "Meet the Manufacturer" forum openly embrace the pipe?

IMHO The increase in "depth and informative" level can be directly attributed to the self imposed decorum and rules of engagement "encouraged" by the moderator and his cohorts.

With the exception of frivolous no-brain postings and photos of your favorite hotties.

I would really like something like that as it can only increase the knowledge for those of us just getting started over here.

Just getting my post count up Naw all these threads seem kinda relevant since a lot of members have come (and some gone) since the last time these posts circulated.

Find the world's oldest thread contest? Nope. This looks like a simple case of gratuitous, self-aggrandizing, antique thread bumping to me. Some kind of twisted, self-congratulatory self-promotion of ... oops. Thought this was the coffee forum. Never mind.

Happy Thanksgiving from North Carolina yez buncha pipe-turkeys.

Honestly my dear Moo I was looking for a thread of yours when I came across these and bumped them because I kinda remember them going around at one time............. hard to believe it was a year ago.......... hard to believe a year ago was a year ago, by any measure. I didn't even read them, just gave 'em the old BUMP and thought I'd read later if there was nothing else to do. I do know they have some guys in there that I traded with like A.paul, Tasso, Jgross, (most memorable mention to American PsychoAnalyst and his dirty fingernails and Dunhill/Sobranie infatuation) etc and before I knew guys like Subotaj, Billhud and BigDKC. Actually I believe this thread predates my membership so others could say the same about me, EvanS and whoever else although you Mister Moo were an '06er if I remember right, no doubt drawn by the beautiful aroma of the coffee forum.
